Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a novel physical pretreatment process on the drying kinetics of seedless grapes
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative physical method for enhancing the drying rate of seedless grapes is proposed, which consists of the superficial abrasion of the grape peel using an inert abrasive material.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rigid-rod model for nematic polymers: An analysis of the shear flow problem
TL;DR: In this paper, the rigid-rod model is thoroughly analyzed with tools typical of bifurcation analysis for the case of shear flows, and new flow regimes, both stationary and periodic, are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of chaotic dynamics in sheared liquid crystalline polymers.
TL;DR: A rheological model for rodlike polymers in the nematic liquid-crystalline phase is analyzed to characterize irregular dynamical response under pure shear flows and time series generated via simulation are studied with nonlinear analysis tools to prove the existence of chaotic regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical modeling of eggplant drying: Shrinkage effect
Antonio Brasiello,Giuseppina Adiletta,Paola Russo,Silvestro Crescitelli,Donatella Albanese,Marisa Di Matteo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, two mathematical models with shrinkage effect describing eggplant drying are developed and discussed, which are both modified diffusion equations and take differently into account changes of eggplant slice structure during drying.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical model of ignition processes of polymeric materials including gas-phase absorption of radiation
TL;DR: In this article, a one-dimensional unsteady mathematical model of solid fuel ignition is presented, in which the solid fuel is heated by an external radiative heat source and some radiation is absorbed in depth by the fuel and some by the decomposition products in the gas phase.
